searching for a new avatar

I decided the other day that I wanted to change my avatar for my blog to a photo of myself instead of the wee tartan bee. Of course, I didn't have a photo of myself in my iPhoto because, let's face it, who takes photos of themselves? Not me!

So, I decided to ask my loving family to send me any *decent* photos of me to maybe use as an avatar. I would be able to crop out background stuff so I was hopeful that they would have something I could use. Let me show you what they sent me.

My hair isn't this colour any more.

How many double chins do I have in this one????

I have no idea what that is in front of my face ... but it's probably just as well it's there!

I look like I just ate a bug!

Wrong colour of hair and the shadow isn't helping! At least Molly looks good!

This one isn't too bad but what about the expression on Douglas's face?

Was I caught mid-word or something?

I love the expression on Joanna's face!

This one is actually okay. I very nearly used it.

I liked this one too but my hair wasn't quite sticky-uppy enough!

This one was taken yesteday. I just rejected it because it looks like I've got a lamp growing out of my head. The teddy bear in my spex looks completely normal!

And finally, the one I chose.

I might look daft in most of these photos but the best thing is, so do they! Gotcha back! Hahahaha! :oD

      Thanks, Jeanna. I'm beginning to wonder if they have any "sensible" photos of me. Probably not! :oD

      LOL I'm not sure if it's my sense of humour, Gilly, or insanity - or maybe a bit of both! :oD

    It made me laugh and realise I don't have many photos of me either. Seems I take most of the photos, but I did have two on recently didn't I. Think it's all lots of fun.

      The only photos I take of myself are usually to show skirts or tops I've made and, as my head isn't necessary to show those off, I usually decapitate myself in the photos! :oD

    I think you look lovely in them all, you're a very happy family and that shines through in your photos.

      Thanks, Freda. I think it was the most "sane" one in the bunch! Doesn't really say much, does it? :oD

    LOL I didn't think of only leaving the melon showing, Les. It might be an improvement! :oD
